Experiment on registering foreign nationals from visa-free countries via the RuID app extended

By Resolution No. 468 of the Government of the Russian Federation dated 27.04.2026, the experiment on registering foreign nationals via the RuID app has been extended until 31 December 2027 (registration is voluntary). 

The second stage of the migration experiment is currently underway, during which foreign nationals submit electronic notifications of planned arrivals in Russia via RuID, the mobile application of the Unified Portal of State and Municipal Services (Functions).
❗️ The absence of a notification is not grounds for refusing entry. 

‼️ The resolution provides for verification of information against the data in the notification of entry into the Russian Federation via RuID from 1 June 2026 for foreign nationals arriving in the Russian Federation under a visa-free procedure for the purpose of EMPLOYMENT or STUDY.

By Resolution No. 467 of the Government of the Russian Federation dated 27.04.2026 "On extending the period of temporary stay in the Russian Federation for a specific category of foreign nationals" 

The period of stay for long-haul truck drivers from CIS countries and Georgia has been increased to 180 days.

Citizens of CIS countries and Georgia who are professional drivers engaged in international road transport and plan to enter Russia under a visa-free procedure must submit the following documents with their notification of entry into the Russian Federation:
🔹Notification of entry into the Russian Federation
🔹Copy of passport
🔹Copy of driver's license
🔹Copy of vehicle registration
🔹Copy of the international consignment note or route card

Citizens entering Russia for study must, during the experiment, confirm the purpose of entry using the information contained in the notification of entry. 

The resolutions enter into force on 30 June 2026.

This measure is connected with the creation of a digital profile for foreign nationals and the digitization of services for foreign nationals—from planning entry into the Russian Federation to departure from our country. Information on entry bans and restrictions for Russia can be obtained in advance.
